    Coil charging clip

    A few years ago XP did a rebuild on the charging clip to make it stronger. I've never had any problem, but I can imagine if you snap it like if your fingers slip off the older version might get damaged. If clip doesn't fit I suspect you have dirt inside the coil cover. As amatter of habit I...

    Curios signal what gives?

    Ground balance is a touchy control. Add to that Ground Sensitivity control if you use Tracking or Pumping and Gold Field “Grab”. Default is “6” but many say to turn it down to “4” so it’s not so touchy. ANd if there is iron present the Tracking can be off. But any time you run GB over 90 you...

    Curios signal what gives?

    My concern is your ground balance number. Maybe try setting it at 90 for better stability. Sure sounds like a mineral pocket of some sort and wet ashes would be top on my list. When in doubt...

    Curios signal what gives?

    Sorry I missed you said the target was 35 vid. Not sure Ground Notch goes that low. You’ll have to check.If Gold Field doesn’t hit it, I say forget it.

    Coil charging clip

    Detecting Doodads has one but I even heard someone broke one. Never used one. Be sure your coil cover is on securely. Never had any trouble with the original one. A few years back they redesigned it stronger. Look closely at to see what you are doing. Keep clean contacts on clip and coil.

    X-Y screen user opinions please?

    Even extreme trashy areas thin out as you move away from the center. Find that area to practice. Especially the Gold Field program . Hopefully you watched the video and understand how a clean signal like gold or even coin gives a short, sharp signal. Deep is better. Coins not as sharp.

    Curios signal what gives?

    I would try a ground balance notch. Ashes must have a lot of minerals.

    Is it grey and wet? Might be ashes.

    Did you watch that video?

    X-Y screen user opinions please?

    Also after watching that video realize you do not base your dig/no dig decision on only one thing like the elongated tone. Take all the factors in before you decide. Another thing, when learning a new technique maybe just spend an hour each time you go out to work on it. Watch out for...

    X-Y screen user opinions please?

    XY screen not too good in trashy areas. I like to use it with Full Tones especially on suspect aluminum. The Full Tones gives a wavering sound that might not be easy to hear at first. But with the XY screen I can hear the wavering better by viewing the screen. Easy enough to create a program to...

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    Manual says MUST be returned to repair center. Someone told me the real issue was if it leaks, over time it can short out the battery and start a fire. Nice thought to dwell on when you wake up in the middle of the night.

    Battery life???

    I think it says somewhere in the owner's manual. I don't have a number but more than ten hours for sure.
